Mitron Contrast Sensitivity Charts
A contrast sensitivity test measures the ability to distinguish between varying increments of light versus dark (i.e. contrast). Developed by optometrists, the Mitron Contrast Sensitivity Charts provide a quick and effective means for assessing and quantifying a patient's contrast sensitivity threshold.
Why Test Contrast Sensitivity?
Contrast sensitivity is an important function because it is this sensitivity that allows us to see objects clearly - especially in condition where visibility is reduced, such as at night or in foggy weather. Furthermore, contrast sensitivity testing can be used to screen for various eye conditions or diseases, such as glaucoma, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy, where decreased contrast sensitivity is a symptom.

More on the Mitron Contrast Sensitivity Charts
The Mitron Contrast Sensitivity Charts provides a rapid and accurate means for testing and quantifying a patient's sensitivity to contrast. These charts contain printed letters - much like the letter-based charts used to test visual acuity. However, while reading distance eye tests contain letters of the same contrast level, but of decreasing size, these contrast test charts contain letters of the same size, but of decreasing contrast instead.
What's Included with the Mitron Constrast Sensitivity Charts?
This listing is for two Mitron Contrast Sensitivity Charts, supplied along with an instruction manual and a scoring pad. Each of the charts features its own sequence of letters for more accurate testing.
